Hm ... libpq manages to build code that requires openssl without
needing a generated Makefile, so why do we need it here?

I'd prefer #1 of these two, but seeing that no other contrib module
has a Makefile.in, not having to do either would be even better.
This is particularly true if you aren't going to completely eliminate
the hand-configuration options in the Makefile, because having to edit
a generated Makefile or having to edit Makefile.in and then remember
to reconfigure both suck.
